Number of Ron Paul Write in Votes in California

[Maximus]

I am on winter break and decided to tabulate the number of votes Ron Paul receives in California in the 2008 General Election

Many of California's counties are only reporting generic "write-in" numbers, which makes it impossible to say with certainty how many votes Ron Paul received, although he seemed to come in between .02%-.04% of the vote. The numbers slightly varied from county to county, and indeed at times Paul out polled Bob Barr.

Here are the county by county totals that report directly on Ron Paul:

Alameda-513

Fresno- 283

Humboldt- 203

Lassen- 35

Monterrey- 150

Nevada- 197

Orange- 3,118

Riverside- 776

San Bernardino- 726

San Diego- 2232

San Francisco- 398

San Mateo- 388

Shasta- 148

Solano- 126

Stanislaus- 175

Yolo- 54

Total- 9,522

I wish I had the real data of other counties, but based on these numbers, I suspect Ron Paul received atleast 30,000 votes.

Ron Paul got just over 17,000 write-ins in California. I'm not sure if that's the final number but it seems to be presented as such.

edit: According to one of the comments that total doesn't include Del Norte County, Mono County and San Benito County.
